Creativity

When being creative, we are limited by the form of media we choose. For example, if you were making a film of a certain genre, you cannot copy another film as they would be the same, but you cannot be very different as you would not recognize the genre. Creativity can also be limited by time. If you have a lot of time before you have to film, you would be able to think of more ideas and create a more complex concept. When working in a group you have to combine ideas which is ‘collective’ creativity. This limits your own creativity as you cannot design the whole idea you have to let others input their thoughts. Creativity is also limited by the audience you are making ideas for. You have to take into account the audiences expectations by either submitting to them or defying them, the age, gender, class, race and sexuality. Ideas have to include diverse people in order to enforce equality throughout all categories. So depending on the audience you aim to film for, you have to consider them when being creative and thinking of ideas. I think the biggest problem would be sorting ideas out between a group as everyone wants there own idea to be used and some may not fit with the other things that need to be considered.
